WHERE CAN I FIND YOU
The morn was bright the day you left us for
good,
You took to the sky with your usual happy
mood.
The wind and cloud whistled through your
hair,
When your precious soul began dancing in the
air.
I heard you say your goodbye to all those you
love,
Your departed soul ran through the clouds up
above.
That day ended my life but you seem to be
content,
You may have felt that is where all good ones
went.
All the loved ones you left behind to mourn
and cry,
You know none were ready to say the last
goodbye.
Your presence always filled my life with
unique flare,
This poor soul has a life that is now all cold
and bare.
We laid you to rest in peace you looked so
pleasant,
It was a solemn scene the ones you loved were
present.
All those who spoke shared memories and
stories retold,
They talked about your life from younger days
to old.
I am not sure when all our hearts will start to
mend,
We know it is hard to lose a wife, a mother
and a friend.
Every day when the new day begins we look at
the sky,
We raise our heads but we only see some birds
that fly.
Our nights are darker and the moon does not
shine,
The clouds are grey and the fogs cover your
shrine.
The wet mist of my tears is all cold and
foreboding,
My future is unknown and I am surely
corroding.
The parrots and birds of our garden sing no
more now,
The dawn is dull and dark and the sunset is
all-dim now.
The deeper pain of my emotions know no end
at all,
My heart and soul continue to wail, groan and
fall.
The roses of my garden no longer give off that
scent,
The perfume of joy you gave me has all been
spent.
Where has that anticipation gone and where is
my life?
There is only stark despair when I do not have
my wife.
Unquenched longing and loneliness are all I
expect now,
Darkness, sorrows and fears are all my
emotions now.
Do you not see that my lonely soul is crying
out for you?
All is so desolate, all is so cold but where can I
find you?
WHAT WAS SHE?
In the rapids and bombshells of life she was
my raft and shield,
In the midst of my strife and hardships she
was my peaceful field.
In the stormy sea of my shipwrecked soul she was my sandy shore,
In the long game of life and flooded river she
was my bridge door.
When there was no sunshine and life looked
dark she was my light,
Whenever I was about to fall she gave me the
rope and put me right..
